He further explained the crucial Green Corridor system, which ensures the rapid and safe transportation of organs for transplantation.
In a heartfelt appeal, Rotarian Goel encouraged CISF personnel to become ambassadors of this life-saving cause by initiating meaningful conversations with their families and communities about organ donation.
Mr Ashu Singhal, Senior Commandant, CISF, praised Rotarian Goel for his unwavering dedication to organ donation advocacy. He expressed confidence that the session would inspire many officers and personnel to consider pledging their organs after discussing the decision with their families.
Mr Martyunjay, Deputy Commandant, delivered the vote of thanks, warmly recalling his earlier association with Rotarian Goel during his tenure at MRPL, Mangalore, and acknowledging Goel’s enduring passion for this noble mission.
